On the cover : The cost of traditional cervical cancer tests based on automated liquidbased cytology (ALBC) slides with proprietary stain is a limiting factor in early diagnostics and positive treatment outcome of this devastating disease in poor regions of the world. The cover reveals high‐quality images of cervical cells obtained by a cheaper automation‐assisted cervical cancer test in manual liquid‐based cytology slides (MLBC) with generic hematoxylin and eosin (H&S) stain, designed to offset cost and to increase survival rates for cervical cancer in developing countries, community health centers and small hospitals.
